Andrea Kleine discusses her recent performance work, Screening Room, or, The Return of Andrea Kleine (as revealed through a re-enactment of a 1977 television program about a ‘long and baffling’ film by Yvonne Rainer), which premiered in December 2014. At the time, Kleine had not performed in her own work in over a decade. That absence was one of the subjects of the piece, building off of a 1977 talk-show interview with Yvonne Rainer, the choreographer who famously left dance for the world of film. Kleine portrayed Rainer as a character, herself as a character, sometimes both at the same time, sometimes neither. The authentic self lives somewhere between onstage and off, between verbatim transcripts and imaginary films, between past and present.
